Top 10 reasons to get swivl

BY :Ilyas Saheb

1. Record a teacher’s class or presentation

This is basically using the technique of flipping classroom, where you record your class, the student watches it at home, and then you do the homework in class tomorrow. You can also use it in class and let the teacher help students as they work. (This is what my teacher does.)

​

2. A Robotic Camera Man

​

When students are doing a group project, they could use the Swivl and record all of them instead of having someone else as the cameraman and be left out of the video. If a team member is missing, this is a good way to include them when they’re out.

​

3. Present With Slides

By using the Swivl Cloud and the Swivl Capture app, you can record your own presentation while presenting with slides on your IOS device.

​

4. Improve Teaching Skills

When using the Swivl to record a teacher’s class, the footage can be sent to a higher-ed teacher or the school administrator to see how the teacher is doing, and then send feedback.

​

5. Practicing Made Easy

You might be nervous about your presentation and want to practice like it might be the real thing. Using the Swivl, you can check for time, audio, slides, and eye contact.

​

6. Quick and Effortless Streaming

​

Anybody can use the Swivl to record videos to upload to YouTube or stream on Ustream.

​

​

7. Audio Recordings

With the Swivl’s marker, you can record clear, wireless audio.

​

8. Vlogging Made Easy

​

The Swivl can be used to easily make a vlog. Instead of focusing the camera in one place, you can attach the marker to the lanyard, put the lanyard on, and walk around while still recording clear audio and video.

​

9. Your Own Personal Coach

​

You may be a basketball player or a golf player. Sometimes you have to practice on your own, but how would you know if you were shooting the ball right, or swinging the golf club with proper form? With the Swivl, you can just put the marker on you by using the lanyard, and start practicing. When you’re done practicing, you can watch the video, see how your form is, and improve it from there.

10. Multitask Like a Pro

​

One day you might be cooking in your kitchen, moving around a lot, and suddenly your mom wants to FaceTime. You know you are unable hold your phone, iPad, etc. while moving around cooking. So just pop your Apple device right on the Swivl, and let mom see you walking around the kitchen. Also with the wireless microphone, she can easily hear your voice.
